Summative GA1A01 - Coloured Fruit

Coloured Fruit

I made this drawing last year (2012) during the time when we still had Traditional art instead of Lifedrawing.

This is probably the third drawing I made in colour during the Traditional art we had in the old classroom (the one that was in the same building but not accessible by the same elevators, it was past the kindergarten).

It is one of the few coloured drawings I've made, most of them are made by pencil, and I feel like I got the colouring sort of right. The reflections on the fruit look believable but the shadows might be a bit too weak.

It is made in one sitting and the colour we were supplied was not the best but I feel like it is worthy of being in the portfolio just to show that I can do more than just grayscale images.

Self Portrait

This is a self portrait I've worked on during last week.
I'm not sure why there is a black line going across the image but it has something to do with the scanner as it is not on the paper (I'm scanning the original A3 paper in two halves and then stitching them together in photoshop).

The proportions are almost correct, the face should be thinner and a bit longer I think and the eyes are too far apart. Other than that I think it looks quite right, the hair did not get much attention and therefore isn't as detailed as it could have been.

As with the previous post I've worked a lot more with rendering than I'm used to but I'm getting better at it :D

Portraits

Portraits from the life-drawing class today.
I tried to work more with shading than what I've done before.
The second drawing is a bit odd and the proportions are off, I did not have enough time to finish the rendering either.
I'm having problems with drawing faces from the anterior view but I'm getting better at it.

My version of "Still life with seven apples" by Paul Cézanne

A painting I made during a traditional arts class. I'm quite satisfied with how it turned out since it's the first painting I've made in more than 5 years. It's based on the painting "Still life with seven apples" by Paul Cézanne, link to image of original painting can be found here.
